Tonya is one of our 2010 Sr Reps from JM. She's in PALS and a wonderful young lady. I'm sure she'll represent us well and be a real go-getter... We had a mini-session yesterday, and this was one of my favorites....

Tom and Martha were married at the La Sonterra club on a beautiful June day. It was hot, but the breeze kept it from being one of those "sweat box", South Texas heat weddings. I work with Tom at JM so I knew him more so than most grooms. I also know one of Martha's daughters (had her in class a few years back). The ceremony was as beautiful as the scenery. Afterwards we did the formals right on the course at the top of a hill. This image was kind of a grab shot (after the wind busted my umbrella-flash outfit), since I was using my strobist brain to plan the image. Right when I took it, I knew I had an artistic image (oh, the possibilities). Afterwards, the reception took place in the elegant dining area... Congratulations Tom and Martha, may your future be filled with many more blessings.....

Katie's my last '09 Senior. She is a "girlie tomboy". I say that because she's a mix of, "ew, get that bug away from me, but when I go hunting, I can completely field dress your game". She made me laugh throughout the session with her silliness and sometimes coordination imbalances (hehehehe). Her beauty and genuiness made it easy to like her, which built a rapport that led to wonderful images. She plans on attending Texas A&M Corpus Christi in the Fall. Since she's a true outdoor girl, we planned many different locations to help portray her personality. We used the haybarn, open fields, swing, a different part of Cibolo creek, and the car. We then tried to emulate an image that would hang in her home resembling her mother's and grandmother's graduation portraits. I truly enjoyed Katie's session, I hope she feels the same way... More images on the site.... Enjoy....

Amanda is an '09 Senior from Steele HS. We had her scheduled back in March, but due to the weather, and lack of flowers, we didn't reschedule until now. Amanda has a cute and bubbly personality. She was kinda quiet around me, but I know she's more outgoing around those she knows well. We started at the creek, then made our way to the swing, front yard, then finished up outside with the car. Her selection of outfits was right on. Her black dress really looked great with the car. And it fit her well when we put her on stage. Amanda wants to own her own salon some day. I think she will and do it in style. Hope she likes 'em. More on the web... Enjoy...
